Robert,

In your blog you mention that the production docs no longer mention
making an invisible hint usable via hints.

From the 'New Features Guide':

1.2.9.4 Invisible Indexes
An invisible index is an alternative to making an index unusable or even to drop it. An
invisible index is maintained for any DML operation but is not used by the optimizer
unless you explicitly specify the index with a hint.

These docs were downloaded last week.

Have they changed since then?
